I feel truly Blessed to have known Mrs. Laberge during her care at St. Patrick's Home. Mrs. Laberge was a beautiful soul, inside and out, and that was very reflective in her mannerisms, her laughter (which brought so much joy to the unit ), her kindness, and her soft nature. As saddened as I was to have read of her passing, I feel so fortunate to have held her hand the week before, as we sat in her room listening to her Classical music, an activity that gave her tremendous joy. I was humbled by the expression of love and devotion given Mr. Laberge, who without fail, ensured his wife was comfortable, content, and never missed one day to see her. This expression of love touched me deeply , and that memory will always stay with me. My deep condolences to Diane and Mr. Laberge's sons Yves and Pierre, and their families as they heal during their loss of a wonderful mother and person. May God give strength and peace to the Laberge family. Rest In Peace, Mrs. Laberge. I will most truly miss you.

Dear Jean-Yves and family, Our hearts go out to you and your family. I know how much unending effort you put into making Diane's battle with Alzheimers as gracious as possible. May you find solace in knowing that she is at peace now. With sympathy, Dr. Ken and Catherine Dick
Sad & dreaded day that brings mixed emotions, for family and friends, in experiencing simultaneously the lost of a loved one and the end of sufferance and false hopes.
May we all find the strength to remember the good times and celebrate a life well lived.
Yvonne is waiting with open arms!
